Dried orange garland

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 170ºF and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

Next, slice the oranges into thin rounds (about 1/8-1/4-inch thick). Do this with a very sharp knife or a kitchen mandolin (what we did) for the most consistent rounds.

Step 3

Place the orange rounds on the lined baking sheet. The oranges will shrink so they can be pretty close together.

Step 4

Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake the orange rounds for 1.5 hours and then flip the oranges over and bake for another 1-1.5 hours or until the middle of the oranges are dried out.

Step 5

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the oranges cool before using them in cocktails or crafts.
